Paige and Hazel sat in the corner of the Emergency room. Paige was rapping her nails on the plastic arms of the chair.
Hazel sighed loudly, "Paige, can we please just go back to Jimmy's? I don't know why we have to sit here all night, why do you care so much?"
Paige didn't even look at her, she just stared straight ahead, "Hazel, I have to know what happens to him" she shifted her eyes to the floor, "can't you ask someone? You do work here"
"Paige, I change pillowcases and bring people juice and pop tarts, I have no power whatsoever."
Paige leaned her head against the wall, she thought about what Hazel had said, why did she care? There was no point in them staying, she could never get any information. She should just get in her car and go see her boyfriend
Pretend like she didn't see him
Pretend she didn't see the lifelessness in his eyes. The blood and dirt that was caked on his face. Her stomach sank when she remembered how his eyes had shifted, and he saw her.
She knew he saw her
Just then a woman burst loudly into the room, shaking Paige from her thoughts.
"Where is he?" she screamed, "where's my baby?!" a nurse came out from behind the counter, she put her hands on the woman's shoulders and tried to calm her
"It's ok ma'am," she said sweetly, "who are you looking for?"
The woman had gone into hysterics, "my son! They called me and told me he was in an accident! I need to see him"
The nurse was being extremely patient as the woman continued to cry and ramble for a few more minutes, when she finally started to calm down a little she asked, "ok ma'am I can't tell you where your son is until you tell me his name"
She wiped her tears and looked up at the nurse, " Dean, Dean Roberts"
Paige looked over at Hazel, they had to stay now. They had their way of getting information.
Dean's mother had been taken into the back probably to see Dean, now they were the only people in the waiting room. The nurse at the front desk looked up from her papers, "Hazel, what are you and your friend still doing here?"
The girls looked up at her, but didn't say anything
"Is it about that boy that just got brought in? Do you know him?"
Paige looked down at her wrist and started spinning her watch around, "yeah, I guess you could say that"
Forty minutes later they hadn't moved from their chairs, Hazel looked at Paige, she had her hands folded in her lap and she was watching Dean's mother pace around the room. She was trying to understand why Paige even wanted to be here, it just didn't make sense to her. After all he had put her through she was sitting in an emergency room waiting to see how he was.
A doctor walked into the waiting room and Dean's mother looked up with the most frightened look in her eyes. He came up to the chair where she sat and kneeled in front of it.
Paige listened carefully to what he was telling her, she couldn't make most of it out. But she did catch one sentence, "he didn't make it"
The room started to spin, Paige swallowed hard. Dean's mother let out the most heartbreaking scream she had ever heard. Paige jumped out of her chair and tried her best to breathe
"I think i'm going to be sick"
Paige and Hazel sat on the cold tile floor in the bathroom. Paige was hugging her knees and crying quietly, Hazel had her arms around her friend. They had been in there awhile, but no one had anything to say.
Paige's mind was swirling out of control, so many thoughts and mixed emotions. Late at night when she would wake up screaming, his face burned on her brain. She would search the room for him, under the bed, in the closet, while hot tears ran down her face. She would climb back in bed and pray that he would die the most horrible death imaginable for doing this to her.
And now, she felt guilty
For the first time in hours Dean left her mind, and she remembered the one person who ever made her feel better. The person who made her feel like she was worth anything after Dean had caused her to feel like she was nothing. She looked up at Hazel and wiped her tears, "I need Spinner"
Hazel helped her up off the floor and they made their way to the parking lot. Paige was shaking when she put the key in the ignition, "are you sure you can drive?" Hazel asked worried
Paige nodded, "yeah, i'm fine"
Hazel sat back; she was really worried about Paige. This wasn't fair, everything was fine, life was back to normal. But it looked like their world as they knew it had just been turned upside down.

I don't remember who it was, but someone used the actor who plays Dean's last name since they never gave him one. I wasn't trying to steal anything, I just liked the way it sounded…if it is a problem I can definitely change it
I'm not sure I like how I executed this chapter; let me know if you think I should be executed…
